Namaste,
The Electric Fairy waved her magic wand. All the lights in Nepal went out.
Ha, ha laughed the Electric Fairy.
A business man with an Olive food joint in a small tourist town near a lake below Annapurna crammed with:
18,543 restaurants,
69.306 money changers,
456 trek clothing stores,
283 travel agents,
32 adventure companies,
19 boarding schools,
8,032 comatose, dulled out, dumbed down students
dreaming of better Indian educational/employment futures
27 female Tibetan refugees selling their recycled sidewalk dreams,
401 guesthouses,
8 dance halls,
1 jazz club,
3 supermarkets,
numerous mom & pop shoe string ops,
52 barber/massage shops,
9 bookstores,
6 bakeries,
85 wandering oxen,
3 tailors,
2 shoe repair experts,
1,208 anxious lost tourists,
and 50,001 bored residents with very short economic attention spans said,
I will buy a $15,000 gas generator to solve this energy conundrum.
When it ran out of gas the Electric Fairy laughed ha, ha, ha. Now you see it, now you don't.
Metta.
